The MNC sectors in Ireland are as covid proof as youâll get, though nothing is entirely covid proof. Whether they are proofed against economic decisions by geography, history and education remains to be seen.
Itâs not just a worry, it is most definitely coming down the line. We got a good few years of incredible windfalls, we timed it well. I donât have much faith in FFG to reimagine the economy but that does have to start.
Emigration was a straight up policy during the last crisis.

Another threat coming down the line is the belated realization that social media and tech giants have ridiculous power and a negative effect on democracy. That will have to be tackled at some point too.

Windfalls which appear to have been frittered on buying swathes of the electorate as far as I can see. On average there is far more money swilling about Ireland than the UK outside of small areas
FG spent the windfalls on their runaway current spending on health and housing because they refused to implement long term policies because itâs against their ideology.

Thatâll have to be tackled globally.
Herself says that they currently get two or three kids every day come in as emergency patients with solely psychiatric or psychological issues.
She said there might have been one a week a decade ago. This is independent of covid, so you can only look at social media. Itâs terrible.
Is it entirely a new problem, or a problem we didnât know was there before. A bit of both Iâd say.
Even with MNC corporation tax windfalls pre Covid the Irish state was just about paying its way .

These kids are disturbed enough to be coming through emergency services, so I suspect honestly itâs a relatively new problem.
Mcdonkey would be filling in questionnaires out on inis boffin for a decade.

Heâd tell NPHET to fuck off and OIUTF
Heâd have the whole country locked up while he had bunga bunga parties in Montenegro more likely.
I would like to row back on my previous sentiments and thank FFG for driving a record sales today on the transactional side of the house. I am knackered after it.
I had a sobering walk down Baggot Street today and cried salt tears that I wonât be able to nurse a pint while colleagues angrily settle scores in Toners this Christmas
